ETRAVELSIM: STAYING CONNECTED WHILE ABROAD HAS BECOME CRITICAL.

A unique set of circumstances saw me spend time on three continents in the past month.

It sounds wonderful but these were no vacations, and posed a massive challenge to stay connected to the office as well as to meet deadlines.

I have tried numerous eSIM services while travelling in the past, and found them all a matter of hit-and-miss. Sometimes a particular service worked seamlessly as I landed, other times the same service was dead on arrival. And all the way through to departure.

With the prospect of successive work trips to Germany, the USA and Indonesia, I decided to settle on one service, based on fairly standardised pricing.

This was not a unique challenge in the world of travel.

As international travel becomes more frequent and accessible, staying connected while abroad has become mission-critical for many. Traditional SIM cards, while functional, come with the hassle of switching physical SIMs at every destination, navigating complex pricing structures, and searching for local SIM options in unfamiliar languages.

Embedded SIMS or eSIMs are now revolutionising how we stay connected abroad. They are built directly into devices, eliminating the need for physical SIM cards and allowing one to activate mobile data plans from carriers worldwide remotely. This proves to be flexible, cost-efficient, convenient and, most important, promises global coverage and ease of use.
